	I think you've got it implemented wrong.

	What this says is "I have a domain, istar.ca .  The first server
thats authoritative for is is called mail, its at 154.11.136.66.  The
second server is called news, its at 154.11.136.66.  The third.............."

	I believe it only has the ability to tell you that the server is
authoritative for the domain, not hosts in the domain.

	We have a domain, ariesorchids.com . According to the NIC:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Domain servers in listed order:

   MIDGAARD.TTSG.COM            165.254.99.107
   VALHALLA.STORMKING.COM       204.141.98.1
   FRIGG.TTSG.COM               209.51.161.86
------------------------------------------------------------------------------


So, I put the following in my files :

==============================================================================

DOMAINNAME      ariesorchids.com
arieso-midgaard         165.254.99.107  AUTH
arieso-valhalla         204.141.98.1    AUTH
arieso-frigg            209.51.161.86   AUTH
==============================================================================
